World Youth Day Interviews

faithoff Via News.com.au comes the Faith Off (thorry for thpitting) – What does your religion say about you?

News.com.au asked 6 people of different faiths* 6 questions on their attitudes about the following – it was mostly opinion, for instance the catholic Camillus did not have to substantiate his claims, and it was unfortunate that a young catholic considers homosexuality a sin.

  1. Sex before marriage
  2. Homosexuality
  3. Life after death
  4. Fitting In
  5. Theory of Evolution
  6. World Youth Day

I felt young Alan the atheist did fairly well and was actually impressed with Muslim and the Buddhist

 

*Atheism is not a faith, but I’ll let this slide as they actually thought to include a young atheist in the interviews.

    Um.. there was no Christian.

    Or is a Catholic considered the same as a Christian? (if so, that is scary.)

    Tessa,

    You jest surely? Catholics are the original (and only) christians :)

    I have a friend going interstate for World Youth Day to lay down “floring” on the ground, or something like that and he said they’re paying him $25 an hour, for eight hour shifts over a three week period (leading up to) WYD.

    I told him to ignore the fact he was working for an event that facilitates a pedophile-enabling organsation to have a figurehead who represents this, to impose (and by proxy, via the young leader-types) their value system onto the youths of today, because so very much is “Wrong” with them,, like say same-sex relationships and the use of birth-control! Good grief what are these young people thinking? LMAO!!

    Oh, and don’t 90% of teenagers in the USA who make abstinence vows break them anyway? WTF is the point anyway?! LOL.

    Coming from the US, I also thought there was a gaping hole in the lack of Protestants or non-Catholic Christians. Perhaps they did think Catholicism was good enough. Or there are not a lot of Protestants in Australia? Huge differences in belief systems, but not so much on the questions they asked, so maybe that is why?

    I also thought it was funny that they omitted the atheist from the discussion of the relevance in everyday life/how they fit in. That says a lot. Living in the US, I definitely think there are challenges for atheists, especially if you live in the Bible belt.

    ex-mercy,

    It is (Catholic) World Youth Day. So I guess they didn’t think to speak to the “splitters” :)

    And yes I do think that it is interesting that they didn’t ask Alan about fitting in.
